I know about erepairables. It's an auction site. I'm sure you yourself are willling to buy a whole wrecked Leaf, and pay for it to be shipped to your house w/o knowing the condition of the battery that's inside. The shipping alone kills the cost. Go ahead, be my guest. You said the conversion to...

I have sources for the inverter Yes, I know, this is how most people do it. It's easy to just bolt a bunch of them together and stack them on a shelf, and have a huge fire hazard. But then you have to homebrew the BMS, get an expensive fireproof cabinet, and spend hours designing it. Reusing...

Thanks for the reply. Actually, in my area, I don't see the resale values that you state. For instance, there's a Leaf that's a year newer, has lower mileage, and has the same ~36mi range that's been on the market for a month for $3400 with no takers. I haven't been able to find cheap battery...

My 2011 Leaf is on its last legs. SOH is only 47%. After going through a lot of analysis, and finding out that it's not easy to do an upgrade to a higher range battery, I realized that the battery is worth more to me than the entire car. It still has >11kWh capacity left in it, which would make...

Sorry I can't spoon feed you, but everything you need to know is here: https://github.com/lincomatic/LeafCAN

Did you liquidate your Leaf? I'm wondering if mine even has any resale value anymore. Thanks to LeafCAN, I can see that it's lost ~30% of its original capacity, despite the display only showing 2 bars missing. Very frustrating that Nissan has such a useless battery warranty. If I didn't have...

Called Glendale Nissan this morning .. they charge $57 and Ross Nissan charges $46. Alhambra Nissan charges $89. Nissan of Duarte is crazy to charge $120.

Thanks for all the replies. I just called Leaf Customer Service, and they verified that Nissan of Duarte indeed is giving out bad information, that the battery checks ARE IN FACT REQUIRED in order to maintain the battery warranty. Since every one else is paying less than half of what Nissan of...

Just dropped my car @ Nissan of Duarte for the 3rd year annual check. They wanted to charge $120 and when I balked, they said that it is NOT REQUIRED to maintain the battery warranty ... only recommended. I asked if they were sure of that, and they said yes. So I declined the check and am only...

Right. I've tweaked the code a bit since your initial tests. I was wondering if it had any effect.

Wow, impressive hand soldering job! BTW, let me know if you still get relay clicking w/ the latest LeafCAN firmware from github. I have never been able to get my car to click, even after Nissan upgraded it to the latest onboard firmware.

BTW, I uploaded a fix to github this morning to fix the underflow bug on the DTE screen when the distance goes below zero. You soldered the SMT boards yourself?

Are you using the code from github? V203 must be defined in LeafCAN.h to use Barbouri's board. That sets it up to use ENCA = PC0 ENCB = PC1 ENCbtn = PC2

I'm seeing the same thing as GlennD ... the health dropped by ~15% when I got it back from the dealer, but the Ah didn't change much.

Sorry for the holdup.. there's a problem with a relay clicking during charging that I need to fix.. AFAIK, it happens on 2012+ and 2011 cars which have had a particular charging system update. Mine hasn't been updated yet, so it doesn't click, so I can't investigate a fix. The current...
